About this product
Pecans are the sweet tooth of the nut world. Each deep-russet half is ridged and tender, with a buttery flavour that carries hints of maple and toffee even though nothing has been added.
Their soft texture makes them very forgiving. Fold them into cookie dough, press them onto the top of a tart, or crush them for a crumble topping. In savoury cooking they are lovely roasted with sweet potato or tossed into a salad with bitter leaves and a sharp dressing.
This is the raw version, so a few minutes in a dry pan or a warm oven is a good idea if you want a deeper, more toasted taste. Watch them closely, because the same sugars that make them taste so good also make them catch quickly.
We pick halves that are whole and plump rather than shards, which matters if you are decorating something. Looking for a ready-made treat instead? Our maple-glazed pecans are the same nut with a sticky coat, or try the recipe in our pecan pie bars post.

Storage
Keep sealed in a cool, dry, dark place. Pecans are rich in oil, so the fridge or freezer helps if you store them for months.
